I read a few of the reviews about the Riviera and they seemed to really slam it. Well, what do you expect for a small and economical hotel? It's not the Ritz or even Holiday Inn, but it serves its purpose. Our room was large and clean. The king size bed was comfortable and the A/C kept the room at just the right temperature. The shower and bathroom […] were clean and the tile on the floor was spotless and shiny. Yes, the furniture was a little old but it was functional. The TV was good sized and had plenty of channels. The location is ideal since it is only about 3 blocks to Disneyland, plus there are plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. If you are going to be spending the majority of your time in Disneyland or California Adventure and only need a room to sleep in and shower, there is nothing wrong with this motel. I would stay here again. Read more

Everything was good, the only thing that could of need a little help was the up dating of the bathroom.....(not dirty or anything)

I was looking for something cheap and close to Disneyland. This was the place! All I ask for is a place to sleep and a place to shower! This had both!! I was a bit put off that I was handed the TV remote when I checked in AND I had to pay for ice! I also prefer to have carpet under my feet and this room had hardwood floors. The only light in the place […] was an overhead light (and one in the bathroom). The only thing missing was a coffee maker. I would've LOVED a hot cup of Joe first thing in the morning! Read more

I didn't SEE any bedbugs, but my skin was crawling the entire time! So stinky and really nasty...

The bedroom is neat but small. Carpet looks brand new and clean. Just need to scrub or clean toilet floor and commode.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Over-priced for an old motel. Noisy, thin walls.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The carpets were coming up, the cold water was hot, there absolutely no insulation in the room therefore we got to hear everything going on in the rooms next to us. Also the door let in all of the light from the hallway. The room was so dirty and disgusting that we contemplated staying in our car. Unfortunately we couldn't get another hotel quick enough, […] so we had to stay and we slept in all of our clothes and socks in the fetal position. We left first thing in the morning and changed hotels, the manager refunded our stay but we asked why if he knew about all the problems he doesn't just fix them! Read more

This hotel is not fabulous but it is located very close to Disneyland and the Anaheim Convention Center which is where I needed to be. You can tell it is a very old hotel which needs to be updated. But for the money it worked for my purpose. It did have a fridge and microwave which is very helpful but no hair dryer. It is just a very basic hotel.

This is an older property that has not been particularly well-maintained, and it shows. Our room, 206, was rather oddly set up, with the king-sized bed pushed into one corner of the fairly large room, and completely blocking (to the point of inaccessability) one of the only two electrical outlets (we had to move the dresser to reach the other one to […] charge our cell phones...thankfully, our laptops had enough charge to run on battery during our brief stay). The furniture was in poor repair (veneer peeling off the top of the dresser). There was virtually no storage space -- just a small shelf (large enough for one small suitcase) and a clothes pole with room for about four shirts -- right out in the main room. The self-control air conditioning was EXTREMELY noisy (fortunately we were there in early March, so we only had to run it for a while during the day -- we wouldn't have been able to sleep with it on at night). The walls were also very thin...no secrets from your neighbors in this motel! The pool, stuck in a corner of the parking lot, was out of order during our stay. Another thing to keep in mind...Anaheim blocks are a lot longer than regular city blocks, so you've actually got a good 8 blocks worth of walking to get from this motel to the entry plaza between Disneyland and California Adventure...doable, but hardly "right around the corner." All in all, it was OK for one night, but I wouldn't choose to stay there again, and certainly not for a prolonged visit. Read more

there was no alarm clock, no lamp by the bed, no hair dryer, and no continental breakfast. The bed was comfortable and there was good cable tv reception.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This location needs overall improvements. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. Bathroom needed grouting, furniture tops are buckling from moisture, and the bed linens need replacing.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Old, mildewed tub, couldn't take a bath...wouldn't hold water. Refrigerater froze things, burnt out light in hallway, just very depressing. Good walking distance to what I needed.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very dirty hotel! Smelled like mothballs in the room. Very dirty bathroom floor with stains everywhere. Sheets and pillowcases had distinct moldy smell and little hairs all over them. We ended up sleeping on top of the sheets. Saving grace is the quarter-mile distance from the front gate of Disneyland.

It was nice to be about a mile from Disneyland. It was nice to have a fridge. It was bad there was a dirty floor. It was bad not to have a closet. It was bad they call the walkway in front of our room a "balcony" ??? It is an inexpensive hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My family was hoping for a simple, clean motel experience close to the Disneyland Resort. Unfortunately, we experienced loud, smelly, and obnoxious. The clerk at the front desk barely spoke broken english. The room smelled of rotten food and mildew. We paid for a Double Queen Room for three of us. We ended up with a queen and a full size bed. And yes […] there is a difference in size. The mattresses were rock hard, smelly, and the comforters had stains on them that were questionable. The noise level is horrible. While I understand that at most motels, there is a certain level of noise to be expected given that cars are parked just outside the door of the room. However, the level of noise in walking and running above our room was horrible. I can be certain that I will never stay here again. Read more

So much was "wrong" that I didn't stay my second night. Trash and debris left in the room from previous occupant. Long strands of hair all over the bathroom. Graffiti/tag on the shower rod! Lack of accessible power others. Dingy looking furniture and bedding. Mismatching hangers in the "closet" (which was just a bar mounted between two wooden end caps). […] The door, handle, lock, and frame were outdated; the door would get stuck and need a kick in order to open.

The room smelled pretty dreadful and didn't improved much after having the windows open all day but it did look clean enough. They really need to invest in some new sheets. The ones they have are getting pretty threadbare. But for the price and a ten-minute walk from Disneyland, it's acceptable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Low cost and affordable (free parking) but next time I will pay the extra $20-25/per night when I come to Disneyland.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great location for business meetings at the convention center as well as close to Disney. Free parking, fridge, microwave and free internet included. They've replaced the old carpets with nice wood flooring ( a bit cold so bring slippers! ) and have wood blinds to cover the windows. One problem that must be addressed is no ice, period. There is a machine […] which you have to pay to get ice from and it was not working. Ice should be included and available at a hotel or motel. When I asked in the office the response was it's broken. There was no offer of getting ice for me or any suggestions of what I might do to get ice. That was a bit frustrating. Read more

All in all the stay was OK . It was a small adventure, but isn't that what life should be about? When you think about it, your only there for the night, during the day your at the park. The room suffices and the family that runs the site is very nice. I will stay there again because of the price however, I'll bring clean-up wipes and Lysol. =)

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

No carpet, and I liked that. There was a tub, but no stopper. Comfy beds. There was some traffic noise, but quiet from the neighbors. 15 minute walk to DL.

Very close to the park and (it looked like) recently renovated rooms! It was very clean, everything looked like it was in excellent repair, the wifi was fast, and the front staff was very nice. We have stayed at a lot of the cheaper rooms around Disneyland and I have to say this was one of the simpler, easier experiences we have had. The only downside […] was that the sound came through the walls from outside a bit, but it's coved off so it's only from other guests and not outside traffic, but it was only barely noticeable and certainly not a deal breaker. Considering some of the gross experiences we have had at places that are falling apart near bye Disneyland (like Eden Rock... blech) we were happily surprised at how nice such an affordable room was. Additionally, no problems with parking, as there were plenty of spots. We will likely stay here again! Oh, and btw, the shower faucet was incredibly easy to control and the hot water was consistent! For some reason this is really hard to do at a hotel, but Riviera nailed it, even filled to capacity with all rooms sold out. Read more

Would not be my first choice. Management not friendly just there. Rooms not as clean as they should be.

Close and affordable place to Disneyland, just under 10 min and close to restaurants.

grat location but it was old and the bed was not comfortable. I would not stay there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The best part about this hotel is the location. The rooms are a bit dingy and though they maybe clean they don't seem like they are. This place needs a renovation. But I guess you get what you pay for.

Excellent value for the money - walking distance to Disney Land, people that work there are very friendly.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Basically just slept in the room. It "looked" clean, but who knows, so I always bring my own blankets and sheets to put over the ones they provide, wore sandals in shower and everything. It was walking distance to disneyland and restaurants, that's if you're not lazy to walk about half a mile. If I had no choice, fine I would stay again, but next time […] ill try to find a hotel directly across from the gate. Read more

It's great that's all I can say,. Regardless to anything Reviera still put a shelter for us that night

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice clean little Motel. They let us check in early! Only 3 blocks from Disney!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel was nothing special. It gave us a bed, shower and toilet , and it was close to the parks. The biggest bummer was the the walls are paper thin, and we could hear every car that drove by. The door didn't completely seal shut, and although it locked, there was still light coming in, as well as the cold air. We didn't want to leave the heater […] on all night because it got too hot, but we'd be freezing when we woke up in the morning. We also had a large group of teenagers at the hotel, and they were really loud, and paper thin walls did not drown them out. If it wasn't as cold outside, it wouldn't have been as terrible of a stay, but I probably wouldn't stay here again though. Read more

Older Hotel within walking distance to Disney. Its a little out dated and old but kept up very nice and clean! Extremely friendly staff! Would have no problem staying again or recommending to anyone!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I want to say that I enjoyed staying @ the Riviera. They were especially helpful and kind to me. Excellent Customer Service, friendly, welcoming. I would Highly recommend them based on the superior staff, and LOCATION, LOCATION so close to Disneyland! I had a spectacular stay and vacation in September, 2012. Ill stay there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Not good at all. What was supposed to be a non smoking room smelled of smoke. The front door was tilted and let the air in. My wife went to the office and asked for a couple of extra wash cloths and they only would give one. I will never book this hotel again. There was a ciggarett burn in the bed spread Nasty place

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Well let's begin by saying this was a nightmare from the time I checked in. When I checked in I was handed two remotes for the TV which at the time I thought was strange. I went with it even though they were taped together on the back. When I opened my door to the room it had a strange smell and was very old looking decor. In fact to add to the decor […] there was graffiti above the door and on the walls. At that time I was wondering what I got myself into. Next I sat on the bed and it was like sitting on a board. I looked down and the box spring was made out of wood not a mattress. Next I wanted to hang our formals since we were in the city for a wedding. I looked all around and they did not even have a closet just a bar hanging next to the TV. Went into the bathroom and the grout was so dirty. Seriously has not been cleaned for months. Decided OK need to get ready for the wedding, time for a shower. It took at least 15 mins for the water to get hot. Good thing no bath was needed because they had no plug for it. The groom came to our room to get dressed since we were the parents and wanted to make sure that he looked sharp. About 10 mins after his arrival the hotel phone rang. It was the front desk telling me I could have no visitors. (I had no idea I was in jail). I told him I'm sorry it was the groom just getting ready for his wedding. His response was' I said no visitors and I better watch myself.' Was again I did not know I checked in to jail. Read more

Where to start. Hotel may be a block from Disneyland but is block and half to where entrence to park is. Had burn in bedspread. Bathroom was large but waste of space. No way to take bath, no plug for drain for either bath tub or sink. When arrived to room, it was hotter inside then outside. Had problems turning on TV, two remotes. When left, there was […] one other car in lot. (Interesting when Disneyland seemed to have a lot of people in park.) Read more
